About Alien Invaders
Alien Invaders is a fixed-screen arcade shooter: rows of aliens march side to side and step closer every time they reach the edge, speeding up as their numbers thin, while you slide a cannon along the bottom and pick them off. Clear the wave to start a faster one; let them reach the ground and it is over. It runs from our own servers with no pre-roll ad or third-party loader, starts instantly, and plays with the keyboard or by touch. Open-source work by Dave Kerr, MIT licensed.
It blends arcade with shooter and classic for a mix that keeps each session fresh. Check the opening instructions for the controls supported by this browser edition.
Two quick pointers before you dive deep: If weapons need reloading, check the reload control and look for a safe moment to use it. If retreat is possible, keep an escape route in mind before advancing.
Alien Invaders opens in a browser player without a separate game installation. Access depends on your browser, connection, and network permissions. It comes from Dave Kerr.
